MODERATOR NOTE - Several threads on scammers have been combined and condensed into a mega thread hoping to provide one place to learn about scammers, how to recognize them, how to avoid them, and what you might do after. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/scammer-protection.878829/ also has the SCAMMER PROTECTION thread started by the great bikerdoc.
In the interest of brevity so people don't have to wade through repeated information, off topic posts, rants, victim blaming, looooong posts more concisely represent by others a lot of trimming was done to make the thread more readable (and will probably be done as time allows in an attempt to make this a primer of sorts).
You'd think these folks would post deals just barely better than the other guys instead of "Wow! What a great...hey wait a minute" deals.

What I did find was all the disturbing flags for a scam. Paypal F&F only payment, credit cards not taken, physical address for another company (Aim Surplus), no pickup, etc. Numerous internet discussions of concerns.
The old rule, anything that looks too good to be true usually is, still applies.
